doesn’t make sense

How can the new Bush campaign slogan be saying that it’s your record as president that’s important, and also say “we’ve turned a corner and we’re not going back”? So basically he’s admitting that it’s all been crap so far but we’re going to be OK now? Not inspiring. It’s a little like former UK PM John Major who famously said that “We’ve got our backs against the wall but we’re going to turn and start fighting”.
